Hamish Tyrwhitt, Group Chief Executive Officer of Depa, added: : ""Depa Limited's financial performance in the first three months of 2016 was satisfactory and reflective of the restructuring that is required to position the Group on a solid foundation. As we work to make the Group more efficient and better equipped to increase its share of the addressable market, we have been able to increase our backlog, most notably in our core UAE market, while strengthening our cash position relative to the same quarter of last year. Our focus over the coming months is to leverage the many synergies within the Group and reduce our cost base to ensure we remain competitive and focused on our core business."" - End - For further inquiries, please contact:
